We are recruiting for someone to join our team to provide daily lunch cover. You don't need to be qualified, but experience of working with children would be a great advantage.

We are a fun, creative, passionate team seeking someone new to join us this January. With growing numbers of children, we need an additional member of staff to support at lunch times with both supervision and play. Your calm and friendly nature will contribute to our Pre-School ethos and homely atmosphere. You will enjoy play with our children, whilst understanding the high expectations we have in our Pre-School to deliver excellent care. 

Hours: 11am - 1pm, Monday to Friday, term time only. 

We provide a comprehensive induction programme, including full paediatric first aid training to ensure all staff are confident in their role and are an equal part of the team.

We are an Ofsted graded 'Good' setting, which we are really proud of. All of our staff made this happen, and team work is central to what we do. Our families and children are the heart of the pre-school, and if you think you can contribute to excellent early years care, then we want to hear from you!

The vacancy is temporary from January - July due to the number of children enrolled in the Pre-School. We are committed to maintaining the number of children from September 26, and are optimistic to be able to extend the contract beyond this date. 

If you would like an informal chat about what we can offer you, please contact Mrs Terry or Miss Goble who can explain more about what happens in the Pre-School and the process to become one of our valued members of staff on 07941 055782. Or alternatively, email info@penendenheathpreschool.co.uk.

Whilst we are closed over the half term, we would love to hear from you once we re-open on Monday 24th October.

Closing Date for applications: 9am Monday 3rd November 2025.
